Tips to make a perfect glass of sago gulaman drink

Now you know how to make sago gulaman, make sure you follow these simple tips and instructions so that your drink tastes perfect:

You should cook sago pearls on low heat for as long as they do not become translucent and tender. After cooking them for 30 minutes, check them to see if they are cooked the way they should. If they are not yet cooked, cover the lid again and let them cook for another 15 minutes. Repeat the process until you are completely satisfied with their texture.

While cooking sago pearls, you should keep the flame on low heat. Cooking them on high heat for such a long time may break the pearls apart and make them too mushy and soft.

You can prepare the sago pearls well ahead of time as well. Drain the cooked sago, store them in a container, add water enough to cover the pearls, and keep in the refrigerator. You can keep them this way for as long as 10 days. When you want to use them, take them out, stir them well and drain the water.
